Superfine Glass Stress Testing

Things are wrapping up at the Orvis Guide Rendezvous today in Asheville but I wanted to share a quick video that I took yesterday during the fly rod presentation of a prototype Superfine Glass three weight getting seriously bent on the CSD Machine.



Impressive.  Do I need to say it? GLASS IS NOT DEAD.

More on the Superfine Glass prototypes soon...

  1. I saw a similar video from Gink and Gasoline using the 7'6 4wt rod and it swayed me in buying it. I am absolutely in love with my FG rod!!! I can't believe how much flex this rods have--it's enough to fight a big fish, but soft enough to not break your 6x tippet.

  2. how much weight was that?

    There's lots to like about SF glass, made in America, great tapers, etc. but I have to say it again: those rods are ugly as sin. put one of those next to an ijuin or a T&T and the SF will self destruct from embarrasment.

  3. Samuel...the glory of glass that it's perfect for big fights and you don't break them off.

    Joshua...really? I like the looks myself.
